There is truly nothing quite like an outdoor wedding. Especially when the backdrop is at the scenic McMichael Gallery in Kleinburg, Ontario!

The weather was beautiful and set the tone for George & Kaitlyn to tie the knot.

With signs laying the way down the aisle that said words like ‘hope’, ‘patience’ and ‘love’ you could see that the Bride and Groom were well on their way to knowing the ingredients to a successful and happy marriage.

George and Kaitlyn exchanged their heartfelt written vows which were truly meaningful beyond words and you could truly see how genuine their love was for each other. With the exchanging of vows, rings and a single kiss, they were now Husband and Wife!

After family photos on the McMichael grounds, the couple made their way off to the Babushka Club for the evening reception. With a wonderful atmosphere and staff, the night was filled with touching speeches by family and friends and wonderful performances by the dancers and musicians for the rest of the evening.

We recently were given the honour of capturing the wedding of Catherine & Jason and it just so happens we also did videography for her sister’s wedding (Antoniette & Daniel) in 2014!

After a relaxing early morning prep for both Bride and Groom, they were on their way to St. Francis Xavier Church to tie the knot! Catherine looked stunning and the look on Jason’s face was priceless when he saw her for the very first time in her beautiful wedding dress!

Once officially married, the couple was whisked away to the Adamson Estate with their wedding party to take their first photos together as husband and wife.

Their reception at the Embassy Grand Convention Centre was filled with love, laughter and tons of dancing all shared with Catherine and Jason’s closest family and friends. It was wonderful to see a couple so well supported by those that love them most.

Most newly engaged couples planning their wedding ask themselves, “What should we look for in a Wedding Videographer?”

That’s a good question! When it comes to deciding on wedding videography or selecting a wedding videographer, there are quite a few things to consider. Most couples aren’t even aware what they should look for to capture their big day and so we’ve gathered up our top tips to help you make your decision.

1. Pros Know Their Audio

Many companies will shoot your wedding and return a highlight reel of all the best moments from the big day…but wait…where’s the audio? Make sure you hear clean audio sources for your Wedding Ceremony and Reception by asking your ‘wedding videographer-to-be’ if they use equipment such as wireless mics and digital recorders to capture every word of those vows and speeches!

2. Do You Like What You See?

Does your videographer know how to tell a good story in a visually organic way? Do they use complimentary music to match the moment? Do they use complimentary effects and soundbites that make you watch and listen in an engaged way? Be sure to watch multiple samples, both short highlight reels and longer feature wedding videos of any company’s work and see that it has the look and feel you are looking for before saying “I do!”.

3. Calling For Backup

Any professional should always have a comparable backup for all the important gear they need on your day. Ask your potential wedding videographer if they have backup cameras, tripods, audio equipment, etc.. Having this covered is peace of mind you should have when you only have one chance to capture those special moments.

4. Are They A Team Player?

Do your wedding videographers shoot alone or as a team? We fully recommend hiring a team of two shooters for at least your ceremony if not for the entire day as you can’t always control when a camera may be blocked by a guest for example. Some moments, like your first kiss as a new couple…just can’t be captured again and having a second shooter will give you piece of mind that nothing will be missed for those big moments.

5. Keeping Your Memories Safe

Our practice is to always back up our couples wedding shoots in at least two separate places. We fully recommend all couples considering videography services to make sure their wedding videographer has storage onsite and offsite to protect your data until your final product is delivered. If they can’t promise this you are leaving your precious memories at risk!

Overall, for any couple considering having their wedding filmed is to not sacrifice quality for price. Budget is always a concern for couples, so we recommend consulting with your potential wedding videographer to develop a custom quote to maximize your time with them and potentially save some money. Any good company will do their best to try to meet your needs and give you a great product if you take the time to ask.

It’s always nice to have a client (especially one in television and journalism) tell you that they truly LOVE and appreciate the cinematography that we do!

We’ve initially received an email inquiry from Laura and she mentioned a highlight video that had taken place at Credit Valley Golf Course on our website that caught her attention and wanted to know, if we were available on her BIG DAY!

During our initial consultation with Laura and Daniel over Skype, it was plain to see how deeply in love they were.

The Bride and Groom-to-be told us how eagerly they were looking forward to their big day at Crosswinds Golf and Country Club to say their vows and start the next chapter of their lives together.

The morning of their wedding was a beautiful autumn day and a sign of things to come. As Laura and Daniel got ready in anticipation of their moment, they couldn’t help but smile at reading heartfelt words they had written to each other the night before heading to their outdoor ceremony site.

As Laura walked down the aisle with her father by her side, Daniel anxiously exhaled. It was the moment they had both been waiting for amongst the beautiful background of fall colours around them. They both knew that they were meant to be together and bound by a pledge to be there for each other for the rest of their days.

Laura and Daniel are truly dedicated to each other and with the love and support of their friend and families, we are sure they will have a long and happy life together!
